'Bill Bailey' has gotten a bit toothier since the last photo.

I love me that singalana influence. Once again reaffirming my belief that ventricosa provides a beautiful and simple template for other species to work with.

One last update for me:

N. spectabilis x talangensis

 

[Peatmoss]

It's blushing!

 

[RL7836]

While it managed to tuck itself into almost the worst spot I could imagine, it's my favorite pitcher so far ....

N. tenuis

 

[Dexenthes]

Very nice! Wow the competition in this month is very stiff!

I seem to remember you having another tenuis, jamban or jacquelineae or something like that that was also in a difficult spot to photograph.

Yes, it was an earlier N. tenuis pitcher. This plant has crazy long tendrils and loves to bury pitchers in the moss (especially in corners or between two pots or ...). This one was on top of the moss because a buddy came by the other day and yanked it up while the pitcher was developing so he could get a look at it. It's difficult to see but the peristome is covered in nectar.

Whoa, I didn't even know tenuis produced pitchers like that. Awesome entry, RL!
